  • KevinRu78640066 Kevin Russell (@KevinRu78640066) reported

    @megnogm Not really see I’ve never had much interest in Blizzard not until overwatch 1 but that was like 2016 2017 good times for sure and now with overwatch 2 not working on release day this game is looking more and more just like cyberpunk on release a broken game sad. Well other games

  • Hyrule_AMV Hyrule_ (@Hyrule_AMV) reported

    @aaronkellerOW @PlayOverwatch @YourOverwatchYT can any of you guys help me with logging into Overwatch 2 servers? I haven’t gotten the chance to even login at all and it’s starting to get frustrating. I’m on PlayStation and had the game since 2016. Thanks.

  • SquidLord_XD Ray, The Lord of the Squids (@SquidLord_XD) reported

    *Plays a few games of Overwatch 2 and gets up for not even a minute and sits back down* BAM I am in a queue with 400 players ahead of me. WTF I left the game running by itself for a minute and I am having to wait again. @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch Fix your cash grab game!

  • arthurlepa 👻 Red 🎃 (@arthurlepa) reported

    I see its another messy #Overwatch launch for @ATVI_AB maybe one day they will launch a game with no problems 🙄

  • alexandrog02 Alex (@alexandrog02) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hello, I purchased the Overwatch 2: Watchpoint pack during the summer but it doesn’t reflect in Overwatch 2. Is this an ongoing issue that is currently being resolved?

  • yerimbs marcy (@yerimbs) reported

    @BlizzardCS @BlizzardCSEU_PT i’m afraid to play on my overwatch account since all my progress still lost, creating a new save that will replace the old one is this a real problem or i can play normally with the guarantee that everything will comeback?

  • GP_NET Gamer's Platform (@GP_NET) reported

    @TheActMan_YT I mean so far it's pretty good. I never really had a problem with the loot boxes in Overwatch myself since you always got one when you leveled up. The gameplay loop was fun so I never felt pressured to buy. But IF I had to choose an MTX, I'd go with battle pass.

  • lSyZyGyl syzygy (@lSyZyGyl) reported

    Largely, my problems with Overwatch fall down to, horrible monetization (wrapped into ****** cosmetics), qol changes, and the 5v5 change.

  • Syqueyyy I am not mentally ill (@Syqueyyy) reported

    Day 3 no overwatch . I am having withdrawl symptoms being unable to **** talk my teammated in the most gruel and vile ways... @ATVI_AB Please fix the game I will buy the watchpoint pack if you let me into OW2 please I NEED THIS.

  • Shadow25x Shadow🧡🌼 (@Shadow25x) reported

    Going on 3 days now of trying to get into overwatch 2, have yet to successfully log in. Have set in hour long ques for it to disconnect from the server. I seriously want to give up at this point. @PlayOverwatch

  • UmanaFNBR ЯVS Umana   🇺🇦 (@UmanaFNBR) reported

    Yea there's no shot I would be able to play overwatch i managed to login to my very old account that i haven't used in maybe years but unfortunately i play Xbox and i can't link a new account until 365 days which is a year meaning i will need to wait a year to play overwatch 💀

  • BamRossyBam Ross (@BamRossyBam) reported

    For all those of you with the Overwatch 2 LC-208 pain... I have unlinked and relinked and it does not solve anything. @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS Come on, fix this!!!!! </3

  • flairbutera stove harvey (@flairbutera) reported

    been 2 days since overwatch came out and i havent been able to get past the login screen once

  • Jeaxt_ Jeaxt (@Jeaxt_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch It's not overwatch 2 if you completely write over the first one. Also annoyed seeing streamers being connected to the game and me holding my ***** waiting for the queue to just still crash.

  • Shaunage325 Brit K-Pop Reacts (@Shaunage325) reported

    @Matt_Clough Apparently there’s a glitch that they’re sorting so people should get their stuff, but I’m slightly worried about mine since I never created an account for Overwatch 1 on battlenet until a few days back

  • feralreid (@feralreid) reported

    overwatch 2 really be broken and instead of making an entirely new game they just upgraded ow to ow2 so people can't even play regular ow when ow2 is broken 🫠

  • stargrdians noodle (@stargrdians) reported

    are people still having issues getting in to overwatch

  • Chiraffo2 Chiraffo (@Chiraffo2) reported

    @Bon3man1 @BiscuitCreams @TheActMan_YT Already am since Overwatch’s servers are so broken 💅💅

  • KonstantinBart5 N0WH3RE (@KonstantinBart5) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix your fookin servers ma'e! Mf Game is going to be renamed to "Overwatch Queue"

  • AseteQira QiraAsete (@AseteQira) reported

    I never got overwatch before that. Meaning my problem still isn't solved. Meaning I still have yet more steps to deal with. All these steps and such a hassle just so I can a phone number to an account I hadn't used in years where life happened. God damn. Not worth it at all.

  • CharizardX96 CharizardX (@CharizardX96) reported

    Safe to say that for now making Overwatch 2 F2P was not a good idea since its day 3 now and there's still queues to login when the first game didnt had this much issue when it launched

  • litskicosplay Skyy (@litskicosplay) reported

    @BlizzardCS is the LC-208 error one that’s going to be fixed on console or in general? 3rd day and no Overwatch :/

  • lose_ryan Ryanlose.eth ☕ (@lose_ryan) reported

    What is going on with #overwatch2 ? I have to wait on a queue just to get into the home screen? This has been 2 years in development how are we having issues?? @eyesofthedon @InsideTScreen do you know what's going on? Can we get overwatch 1 back?

  • theK1ngu hAlLoWeEn BoI 🎃 (@theK1ngu) reported

    Overwatch just threw unexpected server error on me in middle of ranked game and put me in queue of 700 ppl ok..

  • AseteQira QiraAsete (@AseteQira) reported

    Yet again, I have to deal with more steps. Submit an appeal. Contact customer service. Submit my ID and stuff to confirm my shifted region. Wait 2 days. Get an email telling me that they're removing the requirement of phone numbers for existing overwatch players.

  • Calavera145 Ismael Bergara (@Calavera145) reported

    Day 3 of Overwatch 2: It took 40 minutes to login with a queue of 300 people, was able to stay ingame for a grand total of 2 minutes only to have a server crash and be immediately sent back to the end of a 400 people queue.

  • BcrcGaming BCRCGAMING (@BcrcGaming) reported

    @PlayOverwatch 2.... store prices are far too high, fair enough you gotta make money, but you don't need to be pirates to do it.. Ranked system, broken af... won all placement games, played like a champ... bronze 5... absolute crap #overwatch2 #overwatch

  • LilliaFootsies cheys discord kitten (@LilliaFootsies) reported
